  • The Photographic Record of Pre- Con F Ederation British Columbia
    The Photographic Record of Pre- Conf ederation British Columbia by JOAN M. SCHWARTZ The research potential of historical photographs has not yet been fully realized despite growing interest in a wide variety of primary, often unconventional source materials. Nineteenth-century photographs have traditionally been used to corroborate manuscript findings or to illustrate written text, satisfying the anthropologist studying Indian burial customs, the architectural historian searching for Classical bank facades, the social historian investigating modes of dress and the historical geographer examining man's impact on the natural landscape. Such researchers have sought specific information pertinent to their particular interests, but have left the broader significance of the detail and range of subjects unexplored. Recently it has been clearly acknowledged that "a photograph is a document, and the historian's first business is to ask of it, as he would of any other record, who made it, to whom it was addressed, and what it was meant to convey."' If the integrity of historical photographs has been recognized, few studies anywhere have employed photographs as a pri- mary source. A description of the photographic record of British Columbia before its entry into Confederation in 1871 and a subsequent commentary on its contents suggest the research opportunities and historical significance of archival photographic colle~tions.~ Nineteenth-century photographs constitute valuable evidence supporting the study of land and life in early British Columbia where pioneering proceeded under the camera's eye almost from the beginning of white settlement. The first photographic gallery was established in Victoria soon after the Fraser River gold rush began in 1858.

  • The Cariboo Wagon Road
    THE CARIBOO WAGON ROAD he success of the Cariboo goldfields necessitated the further Timprovement of the roads to the Cariboo. In May 1862, Colonel Richard C. Moody advised Governor James Douglas that the Yale to Cariboo route through the Fraser Canyon was the best to adapt for the general development of the country and that it was imperative its construction start at once. The governor concurred and it was decided that the road would be a full 18-feet wide in order to accommodate wagons going and coming from the goldfields and thus it came to be known as the Cariboo Wagon Road. The builders were to be paid large cash subsidies as work progressed and upon completion of their sections were to be granted permission to collect tolls from the travelers for the following 5 years. Captain John Marshall Grant of the Royal Engineers, with a force of sappers, miners, and civilian labor, was to construct the first six miles out of Yale, while Thomas Spence was to extend the road the next seven miles to Chapman’s Bar, at a cost of $47,000. From here, Joseph William Trutch, Spence’s partner, was to tackle the section to a point that would become Boston Bar, a distance of 12 miles, at a cost of $75,000. From here, Spence would continue the road to Lytton. Walter Moberly, a successful engineer, with Charles Oppenheimer, a partner in the great mercantile firm ROYAL ENGINEER'S BUCKLE & BUTTONS. COURTESY WERNER KASCHEL of Oppenheimer Brothers, and Thomas B. Lewis accepted the challenge to build the section from Lytton until the road joined a junction with the wagon road to be built by Gustavus Blin Wright and John Colin Calbreath from Lillooet to Watson’s stopping house.

  • The Hudson's Bay Company in Barkerville
    The Hudson’s Bay Company in Barkerville Ramona Boyle and Richard Mackie* he colonial era in British Columbia brought to an end the Hudson’s Bay Company’s (hbc) trading monopoly and involved a succession of gold rushes from the Fraser River to TRock Creek to Cassiar.1 Yet little is known about the hbc’s commercial response to the new circumstances and opportunities of the gold rushes. In June 1867, when the hbc opened its store in the Cariboo gold rush metropolis of Barkerville, it already had a chain of retail stores and farms along the Cariboo Wagon Road (hereafter Cariboo Road) as well as a more traditional, and extensive, fur trade district to the north in New Caledonia.2 Beginning at Fort Vancouver in the 1830s, the hbc’s coastal operations had branched out to include everything from retail to farming, coal mining, sawmilling, fishing, coastal trading, and urban land sales.3 Having lost its traditional monopoly of the “Indian trade” * This article originated as an essay written for History 318, “Contesting the Columbia: The Fur Trades of the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia,” taught by Richard Mackie at the University of Victoria in the summer session, 2005. That essay won the BC Historical Federation’s 2006 W. Kaye Lamb Award for the best history essay written by a student in a third- or fourth-year course at a BC university. Mackie subsequently edited the paper and readied it for publication and is gratefully acknowledged as co-author. We thank Mandy Kilsby, Nancy Anderson, Susan Safyan, Elizabeth Hunter, Richard Wright, and Michael Kennedy for their assistance with images and information, and three anonymous reviewers for BC Studies for their perceptive and helpful comments.

Whereupon he took some of the menstrual fluid from men, and threw it upon the women, saying, "Henceforth women shall menstruate, and not men." 1 Coyote and his Hosts. Coyote was travelling over the earth. He felt hungry. He saw a house, entered, and found it inhabited by an old man called Fat-Man (Skia'uzkelesti'mt).' There was nothing to eat in the house, and he thought, 'What will this old man give me to eat?" The man knew his thoughts, and, making the fire blaze brightly, he sat with his bare back close in front of it. His back became soft and greasy, and he asked Coyote to eat. "Eat what?" said Coyote. And the man answered, "My back, of course." Coyote refused at first; but the man invited him to eat his back. Coyote said to himself, 'I will bite his back right to the bone, and kill him." Going up to the man, he took a big bite; but the piece came away in his mouth, and no mark was left on the man's body. He found the food was very good. Now he thought he could do the same thing: so, making a big blaze, he turned his back to the fire. But his back burned; and the smell of burning hair made the man angry, who threw him outside, saying, "You try to imitate me, but you cannot do it. You fool! Don't you know it is I only who can do that ?" Continuing his journey, Coyote came to another house, which he entered.

    Museum Corner: A Page From History May 2019: The British Columbia Express Company Stage line and Stagecoach Francis Barnard originally started the stage line in 1862 during the early Gold Rush days, after he was awarded the Government Postal Contract. He bought a small mule, loaded the mail and the express on its back, and led it up the trail to the Cariboo. He called his stage line the “Barnard Express Company”, also known as B.X Co. Shortly after, this stage line began to grow to ser- vice routes covering nearly the entire interior of British Columbia. In 1864 with the wagon road being just completed, this al- lowed Barnard to expand his business to a stagecoach company. Barnard established his business headquarters in Yale as it was more central and catered to a large portion of the travelling Gold Rush miners from the coast to Barkerville. This same year, Barnard went into partnership with Stephen Tingley and James Hamilton, who were both skilled stagecoach drivers. This partnership lasted for many years, and in 1871, a private Bill was passed by the B.C Legislature incorporating the Express Company, where Barnard held one half interest and Tingley and Hamilton one quarter each. Years later, James Hamilton passed away, and his interest in the B.X Co. was distributed to Barnard and Tingley. Then in 1886, Barnard wanted to get out of the stagecoach business because he felt that with the coming of the railroad the days of stage- coaches were numbered. Barnard went on to pursue a political career, while Tingley took over the famous stagecoach compa- ny, and changed its name to B.C Express Co.
